It looks like NYC is going to turn very, very very, blue.

and when it does a lot of money is going to leave. A LOT of money.

I've heard numerous stories of well-to-do people already listing properties and I've also heard of a number of people already bailing out. Google 'real estate listings in NYC' and see what pops up.

Look at the prices and make a note of them. Then after the election look at the prices and watch them drop like a stone. I'm sure they are not listed at what they could have been listed for before it looked like a socialist will likely become the next mayor. It looks like the owners want to bail out.

I've often wondered what would happen if, for example, the NYSE moved to a small city in middle America. 

My guess is that after a small period of getting used to things the big city types would wonder why they didn't move years ago.
